To celebrate another very busy and successful season we are having sale tables.

5th Wheel ~ Mover Wanted

I am looking for somebody who has a truck with a 5th wheel hook-up capable of moving my 34' trailer about 75 feet from its present location.  The move is simply a straight-line push back.  A 4x4 truck would be ideal as there is a hill to climb to get to said trailer.

The proposed dates for this move are Oct 6 or 7th.  Naturally you would be compensated for what should be a fairly easy move.

Please contact Jim Senetza at 403-803-9692 or jsenetza@telusplanet.net

Bitter cucumbers!

As we struggled through a bitter field cuke at dinner yesterday, we realize some of you may have as well! Our apologies if you got a bitter cucumber last week. Seems this variety of field cuke does not like this heat. Let's put some fun into this harvest toss with the kids. Kids.... come on up and play "toss the bitter cucumber" and win an ear of corn.

Monday's Fire Call

The small bush fire ignited by a spark on Monday afternoon was quickly dealt with by on-scene personnel and the TIVFD. It is a good reminder though of how quickly and explosively a fire can catch and spread in these conditions. We appear to have more days of EXTREME Fire Hazard ahead of us.

Please report all smoke concerns to 911 and have a safe and hopefully cooler Labour Day Weekend.

Thank you for your continued fire safety vigilance.

Gyotaku Update

Many thanks to all those who came out for the Gyotaku - Fish Printing at the Nature House on Saturday.

To permanently fix the paints onto the shirt use  your iron for a couple of minutes to heat set the paint. Do not wash for a number of days.
